CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-DISPARAGEMENT AGREEMENT FOR VOLUNTEERS (4 Pages)

The purpose of this Confidentiality and Non-Disparagement Agreement (this "Agreement") is to set forth the understanding of the Volunteers of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County, Inc. (the "Clubs") with respect to confidentiality of activities, materials and information from the Clubs.

I, ___________________________(Volunteer Name), enter into this Agreement as of _____________, 2016. My consideration for entering into this Agreement is my volunteerism or continued volunteerism with the Clubs.

1. I Will Maintain the Confidentiality of Confidential Information. A. Confidential Information. In the course of my volunteerism with the Clubs, I may have access

to, be trusted or become acquainted with, and/or may acquire, knowledge of various confidential, trade secret and/or proprietary information of the Clubs that is of a personal nature to the Clubs' clients or that provides the Clubs or its clients with a competitive advantage (or that could be used to the Clubs’ disadvantage by a competitor), that is not generally known by people not employed or associated with the Clubs and that could not easily be learned or determined by someone outside the Clubs (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, all non-public information whatever its nature and form and whether obtained orally, by observation, from written materials or any other media, including, but not limited to, human resource information, payroll, donor information and identities, technical data, know-how, research, business practices, agreement terms, services, employees, volunteers, Directors, suppliers, clients, technology or other strategic partners, markets, software, developments, processes, marketing, finances, notes, analyses or studies and all tangible and intangible embodiments thereof of any kind whatsoever.

B. My Use of Confidential Information. During my volunteerism with the Clubs, and at all times thereafter, I shall not in any manner, either directly or indirectly, (1) use any part of the Confidential Information except to provide services to the Clubs, or (2) divulge, disclose, distribute, reproduce or communicate to any person or organization any of the Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Clubs; provided, however, that I may disclose the Confidential Information as may be required by law or court process, provided that I provide the Clubs reasonable prior notice to allow the Clubs sufficient time to obtain a protective order to prevent disclosure of the Confidential Information, or take other appropriate action.

C. I will Protect the Confidential Information. I will take all steps reasonably necessary and/or requested by the Clubs to ensure that the Confidential Information is kept confidential pursuant to this Agreement. I will comply with all applicable published and communicated policies, procedures and practices that the Clubs has established and may establish from time to time with regard to the Confidential Information. I will not, directly or indirectly, reproduce, permit reproduction of, remove and/or permit removal from the Clubs’ premises of, any Confidential Information, except as necessary within the scope of my volunteerism with the Clubs.

D. The Clubs Owns the Confidential Information. I acknowledge and agree that the Confidential Information, and all copies and manifestations of the same, are, and shall remain at all times, the exclusive property of the Clubs and/or its clients and clients.

E. I Acknowledge the Value of the Confidential Information. I acknowledge and agree that the Confidential Information is a special and unique asset of the Clubs, created and/or obtained by the Clubs at time

Page 6: Volunteer Registration Packet...Volunteer Registration Packet . THANK YOU for your interest in becoming a partner/volunteer with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County! We look forward

and/or expense, from which the Clubs may or do derive independent economic value from the Confidential Information not being generally known to third parties.

F. My Return of Confidential Information and Other Property. I will, immediately upon the Clubs’ request, and immediately upon termination of my volunteerism with the Clubs, for any reason or for no reason (and regardless of who is the terminating party), return to the Clubs: (i) all copies and manifestations of Confidential Information that I may have or have access to; (ii) all documents, other materials and equipment provided by the Clubs; and (iii) all documents and materials that I have prepared during my volunteerism with the Clubs.

G. Notice to My Future Volunteer Agencies. Following the termination of my volunteerism with the Clubs, for any reason or for no reason (and regardless of who is the terminating party), the Clubs shall have the right to: (i) inform each of my future volunteer agencies and engagees in writing of the existence of this Agreement and (ii) provide such volunteer agencies and engagees with a copy of this Agreement.

2. Non-Disparagement. At all times following the execution of this Agreement, I agree to refrain from communicating with third parties in any manner whatsoever that is detrimental to the interests of the Clubs or disparaging the Clubs and its services, employees, volunteers, Directors, suppliers or clients to third parties in any utterance, writing, or other form of communication to communicate with reference to the Clubs only in truthful, favorable and respectful terms.

3. I Have No Other Conflicting Obligations. I hereby represent, warrant and covenant to the Clubs that I am not bound, nor will I become bound, by any contract, agreement, covenant or other obligation that may or does prevent me in any manner from performing pursuant to this Agreement. I have not and shall not, at any time, improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or current employer or other person or entity with which I have any agreement or duty to keep in confidence information acquired by me, if any. I shall not bring onto the Clubs’ premises any unpublished document or proprietary information belonging to such employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by such employer, person or entity. I represent and warrant to the Clubs that the Results (as defined below) or any part thereof does not and will not infringe any patent rights, copyright, trade secret right, or other proprietary right of any third party.

4. Enforcement Costs and Fees. I agree if any legal proceedings are brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, in addition to any other relief to which the successful or prevailing party may be entitled, the successful or prevailing party will be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees, investigative fees, administrative fees billed by such party’s attorneys, court costs and all expenses, including, without limitation, all fees, taxes, costs and expenses incident to arbitration, appellate, and post-judgment proceedings, incurred by the successful or prevailing party in that action or proceeding. Solely for purposes of determining whether I or the Clubs will be responsible for paying such amounts, I agree that the Clubs shall be deemed the prevailing party in any suit, action or legal proceeding in which the Clubs proves by a preponderance of evidence that I have either: (A) violated, breached, or threatened to breach this Agreement; and/or (B) retained any of the property which I am required by this Agreement to return to the Clubs.

5. Certain Legal Effects of this Agreement.

A. Any Claim I May Have Against the Clubs is Not a Defense to Enforcement. The existence of any claim or cause of action I might have against the Clubs predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Clubs or its clients or clients of this Agreement.

B. Enforcement of this Agreement by the Clubs is Necessary and Reasonable. I acknowledge and agree that the enforcement of this Agreement by the Clubs is necessary to ensure the preservation, protection and continuity of the business, clients, Confidential Information, and goodwill of the Clubs. I acknowledge and agree that the length and scope of the terms and restrictions contained in this Agreement are fair and reasonable and not the result of overreaching, duress or coercion of any kind. I further acknowledge and agree that my full, uninhibited and faithful observance of this Agreement will not cause me any undue hardship, financial or otherwise, and that enforcement of this Agreement will not impair my ability to obtain volunteerism commensurate with my abilities and on terms fully acceptable to me, or to otherwise obtain income required for the comfortable support of me and my family, and the satisfaction of the needs of my creditors.

C. Each Provision of this Agreement Can Be Read Independently and Can Be Enforced to the Fullest Extent Possible. I agree that if any provision of this Agreement is contrary to, prohibited by, or deemed invalid under, any applicable law, rule or regulation, such provision shall be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder of this Agreement will not be so invalidated, and will be given full force and effect so far as possible. Furthermore, if any provision of this Agreement may be construed to have more than one meaning, and one meaning would make the provision invalid or otherwise voidable or unenforceable, while another meaning would make the provision valid and enforceable, the provision will have the meaning which makes it valid and enforceable.

D. Restrictions. In the event that any court finally holds that any of the restrictions or other provisions contained in this Agreement constitute an unreasonable restriction upon me, I agree that the provisions of this Agreement will not be rendered void, but will apply as to their time and territory or to such other extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate constitutes a reasonable restriction.

E. Equitable Relief. I acknowledge that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by me. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by me of this Agreement, the Clubs shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights or remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post an injunction bond, and/or a decree of specific performance, and/or any other equitable remedy.

6. Miscellaneous.

A. Only Written Amendments to this Agreement Are Permitted. I agree that the provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, waived or changed orally, but only by a writing signed by both an authorized representative of the Clubs and me, and making specific reference to this Agreement.

B. Assignment of Rights and Obligations Under this Agreement. The Clubs may assign its rights and/or obligations pursuant to this Agreement without my prior written consent.

C. Jurisdiction and Venue For any Legal Action Will Be in Martin County, Florida.

D. This Agreement is Governed by the Laws of Florida. I agree that this Agreement will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida without regard for the principles of conflicts of law.

E. Headings in this Agreement are for Convenience Only. The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only. The headings are not considered a part of this Agreement and will not limit or affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

F. Survival.

G. Waivers. If the Clubs ever fails to require, or delays requiring, my performance of any provision of this Agreement, even if known, such failure or delay will not affect the Clubs’ right to require performance of that provision, or to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies pursuant to this Agreement.
